About three groups were believed to have raised N100m each for the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, to purchase the nomination and expression of interest forms to contest the 2023 Presidency under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, The PUNCH learnt on Friday.
They are the Rice Farmers Association, Emefiele Support Group and Friends of Godwin.
A source in the CBN close to him said although Emefiele was aware that some groups were purchasing forms for him, he had yet to accept anyone.
“Three groups are buying forms for him; Rice Farmers are buying, Emefiele Support Group is buying, Friends of Godwin are buying. But he has not accepted any of the forms yet. Buying forms doesn’t mean he’s running for the Presidency,” the source said.
